Wocky, as usual, going for the Howard Stern 'shock jock' approach crying "guis guis look lockboxes!! credits only!"
These are the offensive "lockboxes"
Guess how you buy them? first you gain Rep with the required Faction(s), all standard MMORPG stuff, how do you pay for them? you can buy them with credits, if you like, but you
also buy them with the Expansions replacement of Void Stones called Celestial Remnants obtained by, you know, actually playing the game.
Now i know this post is boring and not as sensational as the click baiting "money grabbing" or "worst Expansion evah!" but these are the facts, same as the facts about planar fragments that the same people ignore Dev threads and posts about exactly how they work.
